Coronation Street star Channique Sterling-Brown ‘set to leave’ soap
Ever since arriving onto the Street in 2022, Dee-Dee’s had a rollercoaster of a time.
Falling in love with villain Joel Deering, Dee-Dee’s world was turned upside down when he finally showed his true colours before his death.
More recently, after giving birth to baby Laila and backtracking on putting her up for adoption, Dee-Dee’s tried to find romance again with Ollie. But, the soap is now gearing up for her exit.
With Channique being said to be heading off to ‘pursue new opportunities,’ a source told Express.co.uk: “Posters are up around the Corrie set behind the scenes, it is common knowledge that Channique is going, and cast have been informed.”
A source also told The Sun: “It was Channique’s decision to go and she told bosses some time ago.
“She’s hugely talented and ambitious and the world will be her oyster.”
It is expected that Channique is now preparing to film her final scenes this month. An on-screen exit should follow later this year.
